Full textAbstract:
The presentation of juvenile psoriatic arthritis (JPsA) has long been recognized to be clinically heterogeneous. As the definition of JPsA expanded to accommodate atypical manifestations of psoriasis in young children, studies began to reflect an increasingly clear biphasic distribution of age of onset, with peaks in the first few years of life and again in early adolescence. These two subpopulations differ in gender ratio, pattern of joint involvement, laboratory findings and potentially response to therapy. Intriguingly, a similar distribution of age of onset has been observed in juvenile rheumatoid arthritis (JRA), and correlates with patterns of HLA association. While a secure classification of subpopulations within JPsA awaits improved pathophysiologic understanding, future research must consider the possibility that different disease mechanisms may be operative in distinct subsets of patients with this disorder.

Fibroadenomas are common benign breast tumors. Fibroadenomas that exceed 5 cm in diameter, weigh more than 500 g, or replace more than four-fifths of the breast are characterized as giant. A fibroadenoma diagnosed in patients during childhood or adolescence is characterized as juvenile. An extensive PubMed search of the literature in English up until August 2022 was performed. In addition, a rare case of a gigantic fibroadenoma in an 11-year-old premenarchal girl who was referred to our adolescent gynecology center is presented here. Eighty-seven cases of giant juvenile fibroadenomas have been reported in the literature along with our case. Patients with giant juvenile fibroadenoma presented at a mean age of 13.92 years and usually after menarche. Juvenile fibroadenomas are usually unilateral, occurring either in the right or the left breast; the majority of them are diagnosed when they are already more than 10 cm in size, and they are most frequently treated with total lump excision. Differential diagnosis includes phyllodes tumors and pseudo-angiomatous stromal hyperplasia. Conservative management is feasible, but surgical excision is recommended to patients with suspicious imaging features or when the mass grows rapidly.

ABSTRACT Purpose Photosensitivity, a reaction of the brain to external photic stimulation, can be graded from 1 to 4, and is most frequently seen in the first decades of life. This study investigated photosensitivity in children with epilepsy. Methods A retrospective study performed in the neuropaediatric department of the largest paediatric hospital in Kiel, treating patients at all medical care levels. The clinical data and EEG records of 566 patients with the most common epileptic syndromes were analyzed, in particular regarding photosensitivity. Their EEGs included application of intermittent light stimulation using standard techniques at twice the minimum. Results The proportion of photosensitive patients was significantly higher in the paediatric cohort than in adult patients, as published in the literature: 46% of patients with generalized epilepsies showed photosensitivity as compared to 20% with focal epilepsies. Photosensitivity was more common in idiopathic generalized epilepsy (IGE), (epilepsy with grand mal on awakening, 74%; juvenile absence epilepsy, 56%; juvenile myoclonic epilepsy, 50%; childhood absence epilepsy, 44%) than in focal types (idiopathic partial – Rolandic epilepsy, 23%; symptomatic/ cryptogenic type of epilepsy, 16%), while in patients who experienced occasional seizures (neonatal/febrile seizures), this ranged between 40% and 23%, respectively. The generalized photoparoxysmal response, (PPR), grades 3 and 4 were found significantly more often in patients with IGE (92%) than in patients with focal epilepsies. Finally, the female preponderance was confirmed (37% to 27% of all epilepsies). Conclusions Photosensitivity can be detected both in patients with IGE, with idiopathic and symptomatic/cryptogenic types of focal epilepsies, and with epileptic (occasional) seizures. PPR grades 3 and 4 are the most common in IGE.

Full textAbstract:
Ovarian neoplasms are relatively rare in childhood and adolescence; only 5% to 8% of the cases are of sex cord stromal origin. Granulosa cell tumors are a group of estrogen producing sex cord stromal tumors of the ovary. They occur in 95% of the cases in adults, and only about 5% of the cases, which differ in histologic characteristics, are of juvenile type. A 13-year-old girl is reported who presented with massive abdominal distention and ascites. An abdominopelvic computed tomography scan showed a predominantly cystic mass lesion with septations arising from the left ovary. All tumor markers were normal, but serum inhibin level was increased. The patient underwent mass resection with salpingoophorectomy. Histopathology was compatible with the juvenile granulosa cell tumor. Interestingly, menarche was started in the patient soon after the surgery. To the best of our knowledge, massive ascites as the only clinical manifestation in the juvenile granulosa cell tumor has not reported as yet.

Full textAbstract:
The link between psychopathy and crime is well-known and a large body of literature has provided empirical support. However, the stability hypothesis of psychopathy has been a critical issue, and there are only a small number of stability studies adopting a developmental perspective. To fill this gap, the current study aims to identify the developmental pathways for the comprehensive psychopathic traits scale and three dimensions across the transition from adolescence to adulthood. The majority of adolescents show stability in their psychopathic traits from adolescent to early adulthood, whereas a small proportion of youth show changes. The findings from this study provide supports for the notion of early identification of young psychopathy. Theoretical and practical implications are discussed.

Depression in childhood and adolescence is still less well known than depression in adults. The term "childhood and adolescent depression" for depression in childhood and adolescence was not used until 1966 and was studied in these age groups mainly by psychoanalysts, psychiatrists and developmental psychologists. Unfortunately, the results of their research are not homogeneous, but they show that it increases with age. Juvenile depression is a separate symptom that includes mood disorders, behavioral disorders, anxiety and self-destructive behavior. It differs from adult depression in terms of its course, and it lasts shorter and has a duration a different psychopathological picture. In the article, the available literature was reviewed and, based on the results obtained, the problem was developed in division into sections: epidemiology, etiopatogenesis, clinical grounds, socialmedia and depression.

AbstractAddressing a gap in the extant literature on single-parent families and juvenile delinquency, we distinguish between different types of single-parent families. Using Dutch population register data on nearly 1.3 million children, we performed logistic regressions to assess the relation between growing up in a single-parent family before age 12 and the likelihood to engage in juvenile delinquency during adolescence. Our findings suggest that the likelihood of juvenile delinquency increases (1) when children are born to a single parent, followed by children with separated parents and children experiencing parental death, compared to children growing up with both biological parents; (2) when the single-parent family started at a younger age; and (3) when children grow up with only a biological mother, for both sons and daughters, compared to only a biological father. The relationship between growing up in single-parent families and juvenile delinquency is much more complex than often assumed. Future research should pay more attention to diversity in the composition of single-parent families.

Previous research has linked changes in family structure (especially parental divorce) with involvement in juvenile delinquency. Comparatively less research has attempted to examine the long-term impact of shifts in family structure on delinquent and criminal involvement. The current study addresses this gap in the literature by examining the influence of changes in family structure during adolescence on delinquent involvement both cross sectionally and longitudinally. Our findings revealed a small and only temporary association between changes in family structure and adolescent delinquency. We discuss the implications of these results for future research.

Adolescence is a stage in development experienced by individuals that is different from previous periods. In this period individuals face puberty which is marked by the transition from childhood to adulthood. At this time, teenagers face doubt, uncertainty, emotional instability, so that their actions often deviate from values and norms, this deviation is influenced by many aspects both from within and from outside. The aim of this research is to identify, analyze, study and conclude the factors that trigger juvenile delinquency and efforts to overcome it. The method used in the research is library research with a systematic literature review (SLR) approach. Data collection was carried out using journal search techniques with the keywords "juvenile delinquency", "triggers or causes of juvenile delinquency", "efforts to overcome juvenile delinquency", from journals indexed by Sinta or Google Scholar, and Scopus which were published in the last six years, namely 2018-2023, Data validity testing is carried out by selecting journals based on inclusion and exclusion criteria which will be reviewed is currently analyzing the data by processing all collected articles identified based on inclusion and non-inclusion, place, index, content, then described and analyzed and concluded. The results of the research show that the triggering factors for juvenile delinquency consist of internal and external factors, internal factors namely from within oneself due to an identity crisis, weak control and self-control, and lack of discipline; while external factors include family environment, lack of attention and affection from parents, broken home, low knowledge and practice of religion, poor social environment, school environment, negative influence of peers, weak economy, uncontrolled use of social media information technology, low level of education, and carefree upbringing, while efforts are being made to control it with a strong understanding and practice of religion, democratic parenting, attention and affection and treatment of teenagers according to their age, giving good role models, giving trust and responsibility, training entrepreneurial entrepreneurs, and collaboration with youth organizations in providing sports activities and religious studies. This research provides information about the factors that cause juvenile delinquency and its prevention so that parents or schools can reduce or prevent juvenile delinquency.

Systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) with its onset in childhood or adolescence is a significant problem in the practice of pediatricians and rheumatologists due to diagnostic difficulties, clinical features, and the greater likelihood of unfavorable prognosis. About 20% of SLE patients fall ill at the age of 18 years. Only 13% of patients with juvenile-onset SLE have a drug-free remission in adulthood and have a lower quality of life than population controls. The paper discusses the latest international guidelines for the diagnosis, monitoring, and treatment of SLE in children and adolescents, which were published in 2017, with comments based on the data available in the literature and on practical experiences in managing these patients.

Abstract
Objective: To investigate how mental health is understood and approached in the attention models of detention centers for the convicted underage population in Argentina, Colombia, United States and Canada. Methodology: A literature search was conducted using the following key words: adolescence, mental health, juvenile justice, juvenile delinquency, risk factors, and interventions. Searches were done through the search engine Pubmed. Additionally, public institution websites for each country were consulted. Conclusions: Juvenile delinquency is now understood as a multi-factorial phenomenon with multiple areas of intervention within which economic, domestic and social factors are considered relevant, since these favor the development of criminal behavior. A similarity was found between Colombian and Argentinian systems; both are based on restorative justice that seeks reparation and not punishment; which is why there are no punitive measures. When comparing Canada and the United States, it can be seen that Canada is more similar to Latin-American countries than to the United States, given that the latter uses punitive measures focused on the offender.

Full textAbstract:
In today's Alpha era, teenagers often forget their role as the next generation of the Indonesian nation. Adolescence is a transition period from child to adult. This time the cause of Indonesian juvenile delinquency greatly increased. One of the attitudes that adolescents should have is knowledge of the ethical values passed down by their ancestors. Social changes and value shifts have affected the development of adolescents, causing the old culture to be left behind due to the emergence of a new culture in the Alpha era. Bullying is everywhere, physical violence against society is carried out by teenagers, bullying, and so on. One of the consequences of social change that causes juvenile delinquency to increase is the shift, the fall of adolescents into deviant behavior that is not by normal values and rules of society. Conditions like this are likely to spread generation as Juvenile Delinquency degrades mental health. One of the factors of juvenile delinquency that causes mental health to decline when bullying is considered right by some adolescents, is weakened moral degradation and reduced family functions and the role of family, and society in fostering adolescents. When the function of these related parties is weakened, there will be disability of adolescents in acting. The purpose of this research is to examine Juvenile Delinquency or juvenile delinquency which causes a decrease in mental health. The method in this research is a literature study (study research), namely collecting various sources and information that can examine juvenile delinquency that causes a decrease in mental health.

Abstract Although Scheuermann's disease (juvenile dorsal kyphosis) is a common problem of late childhood and adolescence, its potential for neurological complications is not widely appreciated. In rare instances, spinal cord compression appears to be produced by the kyphotic protrusion alone, and we present an example of this unusual problem. Although the results of surgical treatment in this situation cannot be substantiated, anterior spondylotomy and decompression followed by posterior fixation appear to offer the best mechanical relief. Spinal cord compression can also be produced by extradural cysts, with which Scheuermann's disease is frequently associated. Scheuermann's disease also is reported to occur in combination with thoracic disc protrusion, but the coincidence here may be random. Pertinent literature is reviewed.

This research explores the critical role of Fiqh (Islamic jurisprudence) in guiding and regulating the social interactions of contemporary adolescents. Drawing on historical narratives in the Islamic tradition and emphasizing the importance of Fiqh in addressing challenges such as juvenile delinquency, the research underscores the need for practical application of Fiqh principles in everyday life. It argues that Fiqh education, which goes beyond theoretical understanding, entails the practical implementation of acquired knowledge, integrating theory and action. This study uses the literature research method, reviewing relevant literature to analyze the concept of adolescent social interaction from an Islamic fiqh perspective. The findings indicate a mismatch between Islamic values and current teenage trends, including changes in dressing styles, an increase in premarital relationships, drug abuse, and materialistic pursuits. The paper suggests the need for guidance from adolescents and parents to bridge the gap between Islamic principles and contemporary trends, emphasizing the importance of fiqh education in adolescence as a basis for navigating life in accordance with Islamic values.

This article is devoted to the problem of organizing labor nurturing for delinquent juveniles held in correctional facilities, and career guidance work with this category of juvenile delinquents. The article substantiates the urgency of the research question, reveals the conditions and reasons for committing offenses by adolescents that lead to undesirable consequences, in particular, to criminal punishment in the form of imprisonment. The specific features of families with various types of disfunctions forming deviations and delinquency in adolescents are described in the paper. The analysis of literature on organizing labor nurturing of juvenile convicts is carried out. The characteristic features of adolescence are given: the specifics of the age are described in terms of ongoing physiological and psychological changes, as well as changes in the social situation. The specifics of developing psychocorrection programs for the above-noted category of minors aimed at the formation of their professional interests and labor skills are given. The main tasks of this type of work with delinquent adolescents held in correctional facilities are described, the primary of which are adolescents’ successful reintegration in society, including labor re-socialization, and prevention of recidivism.

Full textAbstract:
While prior literature generally supports the connection between child maltreatment and violent offending in adolescence and early adulthood for general population samples, less is known about the relationship between child maltreatment and the frequency of violent offending among serious juvenile offenders. As a result, few studies have examined whether the effects of child maltreatment on the frequency of violent offending are mediated by other social processes, as developmental models of aggression and violence would suggest. To examine this issue, self-report data on child maltreatment, general delinquency risk factors, and violent offending were collected from 3,694 juveniles confined to 48 correctional institutions. Results from a series of negative binomial regression models indicated that the relationship between child maltreatment and the frequency of violent offending was mediated by social risk factors. The implications of these findings for theory and practice are discussed.

The main task of modern orthodontics is to create a balanced and morphologically stable occlusion in harmony with facial aesthetics and functional adaptation. Over the last decade, there has been a clear trend towards an increase in the prevalence of malocclusion, which reaches 80% according to current scientific literature and sometimes it exceeds this percentage. Researchers note a constant and statistically significant correlation between the permanent occlusion pathology and the state of somatic health in adolescence. On the other hand, the interdisciplinary approach is one of the most urgent tasks of modern orthodontics and a constant object of searching for new methods of diagnosis and treatment.
The aim of the study is to investigate the relationship between dento-facial anomalies and somatic pathology.
Materials and methods. Literary sources were reviewed on the relationship of malocclusion with the general diseases and the obtained data were analysed.
Discussion. The human body is a biological system consisting of interconnected and subordinate elements. The peculiarities of their structure and relations are subordinated to their functioning as part of a single integral mechanism. Most authors note the existence of a direct interconnection between the general somatic pathology and anomalies of the dento-facial system. When analysing the literature data, several major groups of diseases that have the greatest impact on the development of the dento-facial system are clearly distinguished: diseases of the ENT organs, the gastrointestinal tract, endocrine and musculoskeletal systems. At present the scientists have substantiated the concept of commonality of factors that shape both dental status and state of somatic health. An increase in the frequency of dento-facial anomalies and deformations in 1,6-2,3 times is noted in disorder of the musculoskeletal system. In this category of children, deep incisor occlusion, distal occlusion and neutral occlusion with anomalies of individual teeth predominate. In children with scoliosis, 72.9-84.3% of cases are diagnosed with dento-facial anomalies and deformations. The position of the jaws has an effect on the spatial orientation of the head and this in turn affects the position of other structures of the body. Some researchers point to the “anterior” position of the head of patients with dysfunction of the temporomandibular joints associated with the shortening of the extensors of the sternocleidomastoid muscles. Research showed that in 89,3% of cases, children with bronchial asthma have dento-facial anomalies. Adolescence is one of the critical periods of human life, since it is precisely in adolescence that the neuroendocrine system begins to function, and sex hormones which affect the development of many body systems and the formation of reproductive health are produced. Under the action of steroid hormones, an active development of the musculoskeletal system occurs, which is manifested by the acceleration of total body growth and dento-maxillofacial growth. Insufficient secretion of estrogen leads to impaired bone mineralization and may cause abnormalities in the maxillofacial area. Impaired growth and development of the dento-facial system was detected in case of juvenile rheumatoid arthritis. In juvenile idiopathic arthritis, one third of the patients were examined. The skeletal pathology of the Angle I class, as well as impaired functional state of the TMJ were diagnosed. Thyroid hormone and thyroxin stimulates growth in the sphenoid-occipital synchondrosis, nasal cartilage and the growth of the upper jaw in the area of bone sutures, thereby determining of the size and position of the upper jaw. As a result of a decrease in thyroxin level, there is a delay in craniofacial growth, disproportional development, retroposition of the upper jaw and decrease in the length of the mandible.
Thus, the correlation of malocclusion in children and adolescents with common diseases arise. Therefore, the diagnosis, tactics of treatment and prevention of dental anomalies and deformities should be considered in the context of the integrity of the unformed organism of the child, the interdependence of the form and functions of its organs and systems.

Abstract Bone mineral density (BMD) is a frequent topic of discussion in the clinical literature in relation to the bone health of both adults and children. However, in archaeological and/ or anthropological studies the role of BMD is often cited as a possible factor in the poor skeletal preservation which can lead to an under-representation of juvenile skeletal remains. During skeletal development and growth throughout childhood and adolescence changes take place in both the size and shape of bones and these changes also result in the increasing of mineral content. BMD can be affected by many factors, which include, age, genetics, sexual maturation, amount of physical activity and dietary calcium. This paper aims to review the clinical and anthropological literature on BMD and discuss the numerous methods of measurement and how the availability of certain methods such as Dual-energy x-ray absorptiometry (DEXA) and quantitative computed tomography (QCT) can influence the study of bone density in archaeological skeletal collections and also the future potential for forensic anthropological studies.

Adolescence is a period of development from children to adults. Adolescents have various characteristics in their development. Lack of facilities and guidance for adolescents causes juvenile delinquency behavior, while adolescence is a very important period because of the process of forming individual characters. Youth need a place that can nurture and develop their potential. Youth-oriented forum, namely the Youth Center. The design of the Youth Center must facilitate the function of the building while taking into account the characteristics of youth in Pontianak City. The design of the Youth Center used a descriptive method, namely the description of literature and theory. The stages in the design method begin with collecting data, then the data is analyzed to form a concept that produces a product in the form of a design image. The design of Youth Centers in Pontianak City has creative, reacreative and educational functions. The design location is at the intersection of A. Yani street and MT.

Full textAbstract:
Abstract Genetic early-onset parkinsonism presenting from infancy to adolescence (≤21 years old) is a clinically diverse syndrome often combined with other hyperkinetic movement disorders, neurological and imaging abnormalities. The syndrome is genetically heterogeneous, with many causative genes already known. With the increased use of next-generation sequencing in clinical practice, there have been novel and unexpected insights into phenotype-genotype correlations and the discovery of new disease-causing genes. It is now recognized that mutations in a single gene can give rise to a broad phenotypic spectrum and that, conversely different genetic disorders can manifest with a similar phenotype. Accurate phenotypic characterization remains an essential step in interpreting genetic findings in undiagnosed patients. However, in the past decade, there has been a marked expansion in knowledge about the number of both disease-causing genes and phenotypic spectrum of early-onset cases. Detailed knowledge of genetic disorders and their clinical expression is required for rational planning of genetic and molecular testing, as well as correct interpretation of next-generation sequencing results. In this review we examine the relevant literature of genetic parkinsonism with ≤21 years onset, extracting data on associated movement disorders as well as other neurological and imaging features, to delineate syndromic patterns associated with early-onset parkinsonism. Excluding PRKN (parkin) mutations, >90% of the presenting phenotypes have a complex or atypical presentation, with dystonia, abnormal cognition, pyramidal signs, neuropsychiatric disorders, abnormal imaging and abnormal eye movements being the most common features. Furthermore, several imaging features and extraneurological manifestations are relatively specific for certain disorders and are important diagnostic clues. From the currently available literature, the most commonly implicated causes of early-onset parkinsonism have been elucidated but diagnosis is still challenging in many cases. Mutations in ∼70 different genes have been associated with early-onset parkinsonism or may feature parkinsonism as part of their phenotypic spectrum. Most of the cases are caused by recessively inherited mutations, followed by dominant and X-linked mutations, and rarely by mitochondrially inherited mutations. In infantile-onset parkinsonism, the phenotype of hypokinetic-rigid syndrome is most commonly caused by disorders of monoamine synthesis. In childhood and juvenile-onset cases, common genotypes include PRKN, HTT, ATP13A2, ATP1A3, FBX07, PINK1 and PLA2G6 mutations. Moreover, Wilson’s disease and mutations in the manganese transporter are potentially treatable conditions and should always be considered in the differential diagnosis in any patient with early-onset parkinsonism.

Adolescence is a period of transition from children to adults, where teenagers have left the age of their children and are starting to enter adulthood. In this study, the author uses a type or research approach in the form of a literature study. The results of this study are that there are several factors that influence juvenile delinquency, namely factors from within the child, family factors, and environmental factors both at school and in the social environment. Then as for the types of juvenile delinquency that are currently rife in schools, namely interactions between students, drinking, smoking, drugs, free sex and skipping school. The role of Christian Religious Education teachers in tackling the problem of juvenile delinquency is First, in a Christian context what must be done is to educate according to the teachings of the Bible; Second, guide the children's spirituality; Third, build awareness about the wages of sin. In general, the role of Christian Religious Education teachers in overcoming juvenile delinquency is to foster children's character, guide and solve children's problems.

In today's Alpha era, teenagers have forgotten their role as the next generation of the nation and the State of Indonesia. Adolescence is a transition period from child to adult. This time is the cause of Indonesian juvenile delinquency greatly increased. The purpose of this study is to examine Juvevile Delinquency or juvenile delinquency that causes a decrease in adolescent Etitude. One of the attitudes that adolescents must have is knowledge of ethical values passed down by ancestors. Social changes and value shifts have affected the development of adolescents, causing the old culture to be left behind due to the emergence of a new culture in the Alpha era. Bulliying is everywhere, physical violence against the community is carried out by teenagers, speaking inappropriately to both older and younger, turning their backs on kato nan ampek, bullying and so on. One of the consequences of social change that causes juvenile delinquency to increase is the shift, the fall of adolescents into deviant behavior that is not in accordance with normal values and social rules. Conditions like this do not rule out the possibility of pervasive genegration with the designation Juvevile Delinquency lowering the Etitude of children in the community. One of the factors of juvenile delinquency that causes Etitude to decline when the way of communication practiced by the gods does not reflect good communication, speaking loudly and using harsh and harsh language and is considered correct by some adolescents, weakening moral degradation and reduced family functions and the role of the family, and society in fostering adolescents. When the functions of these related parties are weakened, there will be defects in the actions of adolescents. The method in this research is a literature study (study research), which collects various sources and information that can examine juvenile delinquency that causes a decrease in adolescent ethics. The expected result in this research is to create teenagers who have good ethics in communication which is expected in a positive social environment and in accordance with applicable norms. Hopefully this can provide positive teaching for all of us.

Background: Trauma-informed care involves providing services to traumatized patients with an understanding of and sensitivity to their experiences. This scoping review examines the literature concerning trauma-informed care for children.Methods: We conducted a comprehensive literature search across domestic (RISS, NDSL, KISS, and DBpia) and international (PubMed, Embase, CINAHL, and PsycINFO) databases. The search terms were “trauma,” “PTSD,” “trauma-informed,” “trauma-focused,” “trauma-sensitive,” “newborn,” “neonate,” “premature infant,” “infant,” “child,” “adolescent,” “teen,” “juvenile,” “adolescence,” “pediatric,” and “nursing”. The final selection comprised 18 documents that were analyzed for general characteristics (publication year, study country, academic sector, research design, and data collection method), population demographics, variables, and measurement tools.Results: Literature on this topic considerably increased since 2017, with the United States being the predominant research hub (50.0%) and nursing representing the primary academic sector (55.6%). The research designs were mainly quantitative (33.3%) and mixed-method studies (33.3%). Quantitative studies predominantly utilized surveys, while qualitative research employed observations, in-depth interviews, and focus group discussions. Most of the participants were nurses, doctors, and allied health professionals. As a result of analyzing the main variables measured in the literature through WordCloud, variables such as “stress,” “care,” and “knowledge” had the highest frequency. Three studies incorporated or adapted tools to assess trauma-informed care.Conclusions: The findings of this review serve as foundational data for proposing future research trajectories in trauma-informed care and for enhancing awareness and strategic planning in clinical practice.

Background: Mental disorders are common, affecting more than 25% of all people at some time during their lives. Worldwide literature has shown that onset of common mental disorders occurs in childhood and adolescence. Children with mental health problems are often first seen and first treated in the education, social justice, or juvenile justice systems. In India, according to Juvenile Justice Act, 2000, such children are institutionalized in children’s and observation homes under Social Justice Department. This study aims at assessing the mental health status and estimating the prevalence of mental health morbidity among these children and adolescents.Methods: This is a cross sectional study conducted among the inmates of childcare homes under the Social Justice Department, Government of Kerala. Each individual district in the state was fixed as clusters. Out of the 14 districts, five districts were randomly selected. The childcare homes in each cluster were included. All the eligible children in the cluster during the visit were studied.Results: The median SDQ total score of the study participants was 15 (11, 21). The prevalence of mental health morbidity was estimated as 33.3% (95% CI: 26.86% - 40.31%) in the study population. There were 32 (15.9%) study participants with borderline SDQ score.Conclusions: The prevalence in the current study was more than that found in the general child population children across the world as well as in India, which in turn suggests the need of special care needed for these children and adolescents, especially in mental health.

Adolescent antisocial behavior, especially juvenile delinquency, has been a hot issue in society. Studies have been conducted to explore how antisocial behavior and personality traits are intercorrelated, as well as how antisocial behavior and empathy are related to one another. However, few studies have focused on investigating the interplay between empathy, antisocial behavior, and personality traits. This paper aims to fill this gap by inferring how personality traits and empathy level affect the conduction of antisocial behaviors for adolescents through a literature review. Agreeableness, conscientiousness, and neuroticism, which are three vital personality traits in the big five personality trait test, are found to be correlated with antisocial behavior, and agreeableness, extraction, and neuroticism are correlated with empathy. So this review focus on two personality traits: agreeableness and neuroticism. It states that empathy mediates the interaction between the two personality traits and antisocial behaviors during adolescence years. It also gives suggestions that parents and teachers should pay more attention to adolescents with high neuroticism or low agreeableness. It highlights that people can intervene in adolescents’ antisocial behavior through intervene in adolescents’ empathy.

Full textAbstract:
To implement effective diversion programs and determine for a well-suited intervention strategy, ascertaining who, among the adjudicated youth, is more likely to involve in multiple offending, rather than desisting after an initial delinquent behavior, is of great significance. The overall objective of this study, therefore, is to contribute to the existing knowledge on assessing the risks for multiple offending during juvenile adjudication processes. In this regard, this study examined the predicting powers of several individual-level and family-level risk factors on multiple offending during adolescence, based on a data set derived from court-ordered social examination reports (SERs) on 400 adjudicated youth in Turkey. Two binomial regression models were implemented to test the predictor values of various risk factors from these two domains. Results indicated the following as significant predictors of multiple offending among the subjects: younger age of onset in delinquency, dropping out of school, having delinquent/drug abusing (risky) friends, being not able to share problems with the family, increased number of siblings, and having a domestically migrated family. Conclusively, these findings were compared with the existing literature, and the policy implications and recommendations for future research were discussed.

Full textAbstract:
In pediatric neurology, tension-type headache (TTH) represents a very common type of primary headache during the pediatric age. Despite the high prevalence of TTH, this diagnosis is often underestimated in childhood, with relevant difficulties in the differential diagnosis of TTH from secondary and primary headache manifestations. Even among primary headaches, a clinical overlap is not so infrequent in children: migraine attacks could present tension headache-like features while tension-type headaches may display migraine-like symptoms as well. Several variables play a role in the complex trajectory of headache evolution, such as hormonal changes during adolescence, triggers and genetic and epigenetic factors. The trajectories and outcomes of juvenile migraine and TTH, as well as the transition of one form to the other, have been investigated in several long-term prospective studies. Thus, the aim of this paper is to review the current literature on the differential diagnosis workout of TTH in pediatrics, the possible outcomes during the developmental age and the appropriate therapeutic strategies. Indeed, TTH represents a challenging diagnostic entity in pediatrics, both from a clinical and a therapeutic point of view, in which early diagnosis and appropriate treatment are recommended.

Full textAbstract:
The General Strain Theory (GST) argues that situations/circumstances likely to generate tension foster negative emotions which, in turn, may create conditions for adolescents to manifest antisocial behaviors/offences as a coping strategy and/or as a way to relieve tension. An integrative literature review was conducted, with the objective of systematising and synthesising findings of studies, based on the GST, published in the last 11 years, aiming to circumscribe the contributions of this referential. The search was conducted on the Academic Search Premier, Web of Science and PsycINFO, with the keywords “General Strain Theory” AND “Juvenile delinquency”. To include the study into the review, the criterias were to have: (1) adolescents as target audience; (2) outcome variable “offences”; (3) GST as referential; (4) and being empirical. Fifty-four studies were selected. The results were organized into the following categories: (a) Sources of tension (events/situations likely to generate tensions, linked to the structure/functioning of society, community characteristics, school and family, linked significantly to involvement in offending, but also to other outcomes); (b) The different sources of tension by gender (in parallel with the common sources: romantic break-ups, financial stress and criminal victimisation); (c) Mediators and Moderators (anger, as predicted by the GST, is the main mediator; strong social bonds and positive family relationships stand out as moderators). The GST contributes by shedding light on the various sources of tension that permeate adolescent development and on the subjective dimension of emotions that may underlie the involvement of youth in offending. However, the relationships between tension and offending must be critically interpreted.Keywords: General Strain Theory, infractions, adolescence, emotions, literature review

Full textAbstract:
BackgroundAccording to the world health organization, sexual health (SH) is “a state of physical, emotional, mental and social well-being in relation to sexuality”. Studies on the impact of juvenile idiopathic arthritis (JIA) on SH are scarce especially during the critical phase of adolescence. We can ask ourselves: are health professionals (HP) “good” interlocutors for JIA patients?ObjectivesWe aimed to determine the expectations of JIA adolescents (10-19 years) and the perceptions of their parents regarding exchanges with HP in the field of SH.MethodsA multicenter survey was performed in nine French rheumatology centers and three patient associations from September 2021 to April 2022, among JIA patients, aged 18-45 years and their parents. On the advice of two child psychologists and a psychiatrist, we interviewed an adult population to obtain convincing data about their adolescence with the necessary hindsight on the subject. Self-administered questionnaires were designed (for JIA patients and parents) after an extensive literature review and experts’ consensus and distributed to participants.Results76 patients and 43 parents completed the anonymous questionnaires.Most patients were women (75%), with a mean age of 26 (7.2) years and an education level higher than high school (89%). Parents were mainly mothers (88%), with a mean age of 54 (5.6) years and an education level higher than high school (56%).Half the patients considered that JIA impacted their love life. The main causes were body complexes (46%) and low self-esteem (40%). The impact on their sex life was not clear-cut. Love life was discussed with parents for 52% and sexual life for 20% of patients. 59% of patients reported they were comfortable to discuss SH with an HP (yet, only 26% had done). Their main sources of information were referees (at school (46%), family (43%)) or social networks (34%). If patients reported that SH has been discussed, it was mainly when the HP was proactive (56%), with the hospital rheumatologist (50%), from a biomedical perspective.Focusing the needs for optimal care, patients and parents agreed to address SH during an individual patient education session in hospital (51% vs 35%), a regular consultation (47% vs 53%) or a dedicated consultation by request of the adolescent without parents being informed (38% vs 21%). Most patients and parents agreed that the HP should be proactive (78% vs 70%).At hospital, for patients, the most competent or the most affordable HP were the gynecologist (68%; 47%, respectively), the rheumatologist (55%; 41%), and the psychologist (53%; 39%). Patients and parents both considered that a peer expert would make patients feel more comfortable (38% vs 37%); however, contrary to patients, fewer parents point out their skills (46% vs 25%, p>0.0276).The opportunity of a suitable moment (64% of patients vs 53% of parents), an HP comfortable with the subject (59% vs 53%), and availability of brochures (45% vs 49%) seemed to be helpful for both. The only statistically significant difference concerned HP gender, less cited by parents (7% vs 43%, p <0.0001).The use of digital resources was significantly more cited by patients than parents (video information (29% vs 9%, p=0.0127); smartphone application (25% vs 9%, p=0.0372)).79% of patients were looking for general information (impact of JIA and treatments on sexuality), discussion (68%), reassurance (65%), and listening (51%). General information (58%, p=0.0158) and discussion (39%, p=0.0022) were significantly less cited by parents.ConclusionTo our knowledge, this is the first study to address the SH needs of adolescents with JIA. HPs should take up this real need about SH, especially in hospital for adolescents and their parents. Indeed, there are expectations directly linked to the specifics of the disease. The main difference between patients and parents would be the use of digital tools. There could be an interesting vector of communication with adolescents if the sources are reliable and parents reassured about their content.AcknowledgementsThis work has obtained the financial support of the French Society of Rheumatology.Disclosure of InterestsNone Declared.

Full textAbstract:
AbstractImprovements in temperance, perspective, and responsibility are a part of typical development of psychosocial maturity during adolescence. The existing literature suggests that the developmental course of psychosocial maturity is influenced by normative variations in social context, but little is known about how atypical contexts, such as incarceration, influence its development. The study investigates how the development of psychosocial maturity is affected by incarceration, using data from a 7-year longitudinal study of 1,171 adolescent males. We compared the effects of confinement in juvenile facilities with varying degrees of focus on incarceration versus rehabilitation (i.e., secure vs. residential treatment facilities) and tested whether facility quality and age at incarceration moderate the effect of incarceration on psychosocial maturity. The results indicate that incarceration in a secure setting, but not a residential treatment facility, is associated with a short-term decline in temperance and responsibility. The total amount of time incarcerated in a residential treatment facility, but not a secure setting, had a negative effect on the developmental trajectory of psychosocial maturity. Age at incarceration, but not the facility quality, moderated the effect of recent incarceration: older youths were more susceptible to short-term negative effects of recent incarceration in a secure setting, but they also benefited more than younger participants from short-term positive effects of incarceration in a residential treatment setting. Furthermore, youths who perceived their incarceration setting as unsafe evinced a decline in temperance. Future research and policy implications are discussed.

Abstract Rationale Infants born prematurely risk developing diffuse white matter injury (WMI), which is associated with impaired cognitive functioning and an increased risk of autism spectrum disorder. Recently, our rat model of preterm diffuse WMI induced by combined fetal inflammation and postnatal hypoxia showed impaired motor performance, anxiety-like behaviour and autism-like behaviour in juvenile rats, especially males. Immunohistochemistry showed delayed myelination in the sensory cortex and impaired oligodendrocyte differentiation. Objective To assess long-term cognitive deficits in this double-hit rat model of diffuse WMI, animals were screened on impulsivity, attention and cognitive flexibility in adulthood using the 5-choice serial reaction time task (5CSRTT) and a probabilistic reversal learning task, tests that require a proper functioning prefrontal cortex. Thereafter, myelination deficits were evaluated by immunofluorescent staining in adulthood. Results Overall, little effect of WMI or sex was found in the cognitive tasks. WMI animals showed subtle differences in performance in the 5CSRTT. Manipulating 5CSRTT parameters resulted in performance patterns previously seen in the literature. Sex differences were found in perseverative responses and omitted trials: female WMI rats seem to be less flexible in the 5CSRTT but not in the reversal learning task. Males collected rewards faster in the probabilistic reversal learning task. These findings are explained by temporally rather than permanently affected myelination and by the absence of extensive injury to prefrontal cortical subregions, confirmed by immunofluorescent staining in both adolescence and adulthood. Conclusion This rat model of preterm WMI does not lead to long-term cognitive deficits as observed in prematurely born human infants.

Full textAbstract:
Purpose The purpose of this paper is to investigate the effects of spiritual group training on improving the spiritual well-being (SWB) among adolescences. The SWB is one of the factors that determines adolescences’ positive behavior. A number of previous studies have supported that spirituality and juvenile delinquency were negatively correlated. The level of SWB is mostly influenced by the peers’ group interaction and the role of others in the environment. Design/methodology/approach The authors developed a Spiritual Group Training by utilizing a number of relevant literature. The authors constructed the training using the meaning of life, values of life, life goals, life connections, and relation to God. In order to yield empirical evidence, the authors performed a pre- and post-test experimental design. The study recruited 26 randomly selected students from five high schools. The authors adapted a 13-item SWB scale to measure the participants’ SWB. Findings The results showed that Spiritual Group Training significantly improved participants’ SWB (t=9.71, p<0.001). The results confirmed the study hypothesis that spiritual group training enhanced adolescences’ SWB. Research limitations/implications Designing a proper intervention and evaluation was a challenging task for the authors. In this study, the authors evaluated the training by utilizing a simple pre- and post-test design. Future investigations should employ a different evaluation design. Originality/value Most studies support the notion that spirituality is negatively correlated with adolescence’s negative behavior. However, only a few, if any, investigations have focused on developing certain training focusing on SWB. This study contributed an important idea on the use of SWB to develop adolescence SWB.

Background/Aim. There is a burgeoning literature on the association between childhood victimization and the risk of suicidal behavior in early adolescence, while there is significantly less research showing this association in adults. The aim of our study was to examine whether victimization in childhood increased the likelihood of suicide attempt in adults. Methods. The sample consisted of 90 patients, 71 females and 19 males, aged 37.92 ? 11.04 years on average, hospitalized in the Day Hospital of the Clinic of Psychiatry Military Medical Academy, Belgrade, Serbia. The Juvenile Victimization Questionnaire (JVQ), Defense Style Questionnaire (DSQ-40) and Beck Depression Inventory were used for 50 patients following suicide attempt and in 40 patients who were on psychotherapeutic treatment due to various life crises not resulting in suicide attempt. According to the indications, we excluded the patients with psychosis (F20-F29, F30-31 and F 32.3), substances abuse (F10-F19) and dementia (F00-F09), satisfying International Classification of Diseases-10 version (ICD-10) (the World Health Organization criteria). The examinees of both groups were matched by age, education and marital status. Comparison of the patient groups was done by the Students? t-test for the parametric features and Mann-Whitney U test for nonparametric data. Results. The suicide attempters had moderate depression (19.76 ? 10.52) and used immature defense mechanisms (p < 0.001). The JVQ established statistical differences in the Total score (p < 0.005) and in two modules: Peer and Sibling Victimization (p < 0.005) and Sexual victimization (p < 0.005). Conclusion. The adults who were more likely to attempt suicide during their lifetime were more often victims of peer and sexual abuse in their childhood. Data on victimization in early childhood provide opportunities for early detection of persons with suicide risk that could help in the psychotherapeutic work with these patients, but also in the suicide prevention in a wider population.

Full textAbstract:
BackgroundChildhood rheumatic disease is one of the most common chronic diseases in childhood and adolescence [1]. In particular, it causes weakness, pain, problems in the musculoskeletal system, displacement of the center of gravity, deteriorating biomechanics and muscle imbalance results in scoliosis [2]. Scoliosis is one of the most common musculoskeletal problems encountered in children and adolescents today. In the literature, there are many current studies describing various exercise methods (especially Personalized Schroth Exercise-PSE) that are effective on scoliosis [3, 4]. However, there are no studies investigating the effectiveness of these exercise methods in children with rheumatism.ObjectivesOur study, it was aimed to compare the conventional theraphy program with PSE in children with scoliosis and rheumatic disease.MethodsPSE for the first group (n=25) and conventional therapy (CT) exercises for the second group (n=25) were applied for 6 months. Demographic features were measured using the “Sociodemographic data Form”. Pain states (involved joint pain and back pain) were measured with a numerical rating scale (NRS), flexibility was measured with sit and reach and trunk lateral flexion test, angle of trunk rotation (ATR) was measured with forward bending test, scoliosis angle was measured with Cobb angle. Perception of cosmetic deformity was questioned via The Walter Reed visual assessment scale (WRVAS) and PostureZone program. SPSS 24.0 was used for statistical analysis. p<0.05 was considered statistically significant.ResultsThere was no statistically significant difference between the groups in terms of age, height, weight, BMI and disease duration and bone development, gender, diagnosis of rheumatism, pain status, flexibility, ATR, Cobb angles, WRVAS and posture parameters at the beginning of the study. The comparison of pain, flexibility, ATR, Cobb angles, and SRS-23 scores of the cases within and between groups is shown in Table 4.6. After the treatment, significant changes were obtained between the trunk rotation angles and Cobb angles of the patients in both groups, while the pain score in the involved joint changed only in Group 1. There were no statistically significant results in spine pain. In the changes obtained after treatment, joint pain, pain, sit and reach, ATR and Cobb angles showed statistically significant improvement in Group I compared to Group II. The comparison of the results of the WRVAS and PostureZone scores of the cases within and between groups, while the sub-parameters of WRVAS and PostureZone of the patients increased significantly in both groups within the post-treatment group, a significant improvement was observed in the sub-parameters of WRVAS and PostureZone in Group I.ConclusionAt the end of this study, PSE and CT applied to children with rheumatism had a corrective effect on flexibility, ATR, Cobb, WRVAS, posture. PSE were more successful than CT in improving these parameters. The results of our study, which we planned to investigate the effectiveness of PSE, showed that this method has superior aspects in many parameters compared to CT in children with rheumatism, and it may be beneficial to be included in the treatment plan.References[1]Cassidy, J.T., et al., 2010, Textbook of pediatric rheumatology E-Book.

Latar Belakang : Remaja adalah sosok yang mudah terpengaruh karena masih dalam pencarian identitas diri. Remaja khususnya remaja madya berada di fase kebingungan identitas yang rentan terhadap kekacauan jika tidak berhasil dilewati dengan baik. Salah satu faktor yang mempengaruhi kegagalan perkembangan remaja adalah kontrol diri yang rendah. Kecerdasan emosional yang tidak memadai merupakan salah satu hal yang dianggap sebagai penyebab rendahnya kontrol diri remaja sehingga mereka cenderung melakukan berbagai kenakalan. Tujuan: Mengetahui bagaimana hubungan antara kecerdasan emosional dan kenakalan yang dilakukan oleh remaja madya. Metode: Metode yang digunakan dalam penelitian ini adalah penelusuran literatur dari tiga database elektronik yaitu Google Scholar, Pubmed dan ScienceDirect. Penelitian ini berdasarkan pengkajian dari 24.840 artikel klinis dan penelitian yang dipublikasikan antara tahun 2011 hingga 2020. Hasil: Dari delapan artikel yang dipakai dalam literature review ini tujuh diantaranya menunjukan terdapat hubungan yang signifikan antara kecerdasan emosional dengan delinkuensi pada remaja madya. Kesimpulan: Kecerdasan emosional adalah salah satu faktor penting yang mempengaruhi penyimpangan pada remaja madya. Kata Kunci: Kecerdasan Emosional, Perilaku Delinkuensi, Kenakalan Remaja ABSTRACT Background: Adolescents are easily influenced because there are still in search of self-identify. Adolescents, especially middle adolescents, are in phase of identity confusion which is prone to chaos if it is not passed properly. One remarkable factor affecting the failure of adolescents development is low self-control. Inadequate emotional intelligence considered as one of several causes of low self-control in adolescents that leads them to commit delinquent acts. Aim: To determine the correlation between emotional intelligence and juvenile delinquency in middle adolescence. Method: Method used in this study was a literature review from three electronic databases including Google Scholar, PubMed, and ScienceDirect. This study based on an examination of 24.840 clinical papers and research published between 2011 and 2020. Result: Seven out of eight articles used in this literature review show significant correlation between emotional intelligence and juvenile delinquency in middle adolescence. Conclusion: Emotional intelligence is one of most the significant factors that influences behavioral deviations in the second stage of adolescence.

<b><i>Background:</i></b> Adolescence is accompanied by a variety of changes in young breast development, which greatly affects the adolescent’s psychology and socialization. <b><i>Summary:</i></b> PubMed, EMBASE, and the Cochrane Library were searched for studies relative to epidemiology, clinical characteristics, diagnosis, and management of all breast disorders in adolescence and their consequences. Development disorders are breast asymmetry, breast atrophy, breast hypoplasia, hypomastia, juvenile breast hypertrophy, and tuberous breast. Breast congenital abnormalities include athelia, amastia, accessory breast tissue, polymastia, polythelia, and congenital disorders of nipples. Breast infections are commonly caused from Gram-positive coccus rather than Gram-negative bacteria. Breast abscess occurs when breast infections are not promptly treated. Nipple discharge is caused by a variety of conditions and should be managed carefully. Fibrocystic changes, cysts, and fibroadenomas are the most common benign masses in adolescence. Primary, secondary, or metastatic breast cancer is extremely rare in adolescence. However, clinicians should include breast cancer in the differential diagnosis of a breast mass in adolescence. <b><i>Key Messages:</i></b> Clinicians should be aware of all breast disorders that may occur in adolescence. Early diagnosis and treatment will result in the reassurance of adolescents and their families without any detrimental effect on their psychology, sexual behavior, and socialization. Adolescents with breast disorders may require a multidisciplinary approach by a pediatrician, a gynecologist specializing in pediatric-adolescent gynecology, a plastic surgeon, and a psychologist for the best management of breast disorders.

Adolescence is a transitional phase from childhood to adulthood. At this age, adolescents often make mistakes in finding a lifestyle that suits them and usually do it by trial and error. The mistakes they make cause resentment in the environment and this term is often known as juvenile delinquency. One of the factors that cause juvenile delinquency is the level of spiritual intelligence that adolescents possess. This study aimed to explain the relationship between spiritual intelligence and juvenile delinquency. The method used in this study is searching the literature from the Google Scholar database. This study used articles published between 2012 and 2022. Nine articles used in this literature report show a significant relationship between spiritual fitness and juvenile delinquency. Thus, it can be concluded that spiritual intelligence is one of the important factors that influence delinquency in adolescents

Background and aims: The needs of autistic individuals and their families are unique in each developmental phase, but this diversity is more palpable during adolescence. Literature generally presents a view that caregivers experience challenges in caring for autistic children, especially in low- and middle-income countries, where formal support services are uneven or unavailable. The present study explored the lived experiences of parents of autistic adolescents in the Indian context. Methods: In-depth interviews with 12 parents were analyzed using an interpretative phenomenological approach. Results: Three superordinate themes were derived: (a) Acceptance alongside recurring experiences of grief and loss, (b) post-traumatic growth and vicarious transformation, and (c) What after me? Planning for future care services with limited systemic support. Beginning with the initial recognition and diagnosis of autism spectrum disorder, parents progressed through a series of experiences that strengthened and challenged their understanding and aided in their acceptance. Parents recognize their adolescents’ key attributes, growth, development, and persisting differences that could contribute to future challenges. Grief experiences, however, sporadic, persisted alongside acceptance. Conclusion: Despite challenges, families were adapting to the changing needs of the developmental phases in unique ways, with or without formal support available to them. Nonetheless, there is a considerable need to address the existing gaps and felt needs of parents, focusing on empowering parents and capacity building toward providing comprehensive services to autistic individuals with a lifespan approach.

AbstractSystemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) is a rare autoimmune/inflammatory disease with significant morbidity and mortality. Approximately 15–20% of SLE patients develop the disease during childhood or adolescence (juvenile-onset SLE/jSLE). Patients with jSLE exhibit more variable and severe disease when compared to patients with disease-onset during adulthood. Neuropsychiatric (NP) involvement is a clinically heterogenous and potentially severe complication. Published reports on the incidence and prevalence of NP-jSLE are scarce, and the exact pathophysiology is poorly understood.This manuscript provides a review of the existing literature, suggesting NP involvement in 13.5–51% of jSLE patients. Among patients with NP-jSLE affecting the CNS, we propose two main subgroups: (i) a chronic progressive, predominantly type 1 interferon-driven form that poorly responds to currently used treatments, and (ii) an acutely aggressive form that usually presents early during the disease that may be primarily mediated by auto-reactive effector lymphocytes. While this hypothesis requires to be tested in large collaborative international cohort studies, it may offer future patient stratification and individualised care.

Full textAbstract:
: In people with hemophilia, hematological prophylaxis during childhood and adolescence could elude the occurrence of musculoskeletal complications (in joints and muscles) if the concentration of the defective factor is averted from decreasing under 1% of normal. Prompt management is of capital significance as the juvenile skeleton is hypersensitive to the adverse events of the disease; intense structural defects might appear rapidly. Important articular bleeds and inveterate hypertrophy of the articular synovial membrane must be treated vigorously to preclude joint degeneration (hemophilic arthropathy). At the moment that extreme joint disease is in place with intense affliction, the goal must be to reestablish activity whilst at the same time reducing the peril to the patient. Articular debridement is an efficacious surgical technique to accomplish this goal, particularly around the knee or ankle, and may be contemplated to be a backup to ankle arthrodesis or ankle or knee replacement in patients of younger age. Eventually joint replacement can commonly reestablish both articular mobility and function in an unhealthy articulation.

Full textAbstract:
Background: Few studies of health impacts of parental death focus on the developmental stage of adolescence and young adulthood and in particular, expected parental death from terminal illness. Aim: To systematically review the health impact of expected parental death on adolescent and young adult children aged 15–25 years and provide a basis for further research and clinical practice. Design: Systematic review registered on PROSPERO (CRD42017080282). Data sources: Pubmed, PsycINFO, CINAHL, MEDLINE and Cochrane databases were searched with no restrictions on publication date with the last search in March 2021. Eligible articles included studies of adolescent and young adult children (defined by age range of 15–25 years) exposed to parental death due to terminal illness, and with reported health outcomes (physical, psychological or social). Articles were reviewed using the QualSyst tool. Results: Ten articles met the inclusion criteria. Adolescent and young adult children reported poor family cohesion and communication with associated negative psychological outcomes. They reported distrust in the health care provided to their terminally ill parent, increased psychological distress and risk of unresolved grief, anxiety and self-harm. Some experience was positive with posttraumatic growth identified. Conclusions: This review specifically analysed the health impact of expected parental death on adolescent and young adult children. It highlights their need for age-appropriate psychosocial support and clear information during parental illness, death and bereavement.

Low self-esteem can result in depression, suicide, anorexia nervosa, juvenile delinquency and, self-adjustment problems Bibliotherapy is one type of therapy that uses the activity of reading literature for therapeutic purpose. Previous literature mentions that this therapy has been helpful to deal with psychological problems. The purpose of this study was to determine the effect of bibliotherapy on the self-esteem of early adolescents. Method used A quantitative, pre-experimental design with a one-group pretest-posttest approach was conducted. Simple random sampling was used to recruit the participant, and a total of 11 participants were involved in this study. The primary outcome was measured by Coppersmith Self Esteem Inventory (CSEI) instrument. The results of this study show that there is an influence of bibliotherapy on the self-esteem of early adolescents (t value = 0.001, p = 0.05). Conclusions it recommends optimizing the use of storybooks to increase self-esteem in early adolescence.

Full textAbstract:
Clear cell adenocarcinoma of the cervix (CCAC) is a special type of HPV-independent cervical cancer. It has a low incidence rate, can be difficult to diagnose early, has a poor prognosis. Its peak incidence is in adolescence, which poses a great threat to women’s health. Therefore, it is very important to explore the pathogenesis of cervical clear cell adenocarcinoma to guide subsequent treatment and prevention. This study analyzed 3 juvenile patients with CCAC diagnosed at the First Affiliated Hospital of Zhengzhou University. Using next-generation sequencing methods, we analyzed the pathogenesis of the patients and their close relatives by analyzing the genetic alterations of patients. CMTM5 was identified as the only shared mutated gene. Using published literature and comparative analyses of related disease-causing genes, 6 of the 19 genes (ALKBH7, MYCBP, MZF1, RNF207, RRS1, and TUSC2) were screened as genes with mutations in patients and had higher mutation rates in reproductive cancers. Pathway analysis showed that downregulated genes in non-HPV cervical cancer were mainly related to the immune system response, suggesting that non-HPV cervical cancer differs from HPV-infected cervical cancer in that the immune response is weaker, which is consistent with the weak correlation with viral infection.

Full textAbstract:
Context: Thyroid hormones can affect the development and function of the central nervous system and various other organs. As such, the pathologic excess of these hormones, known as thyrotoxicosis, can be the source of significant damage during childhood and adolescence. The objective of this study was to review the management of Graves’ disease (GD) in the pediatric age group, especially concerning long-term antithyroid drug (ATD) treatment. Evidence Acquisition: A thorough search of literature published from 1980 to 2019 was performed in PubMed only for English language literature. The following key terms were used: “Graves’ disease, hyperthyroidism, thyrotoxicosis in children, thyrotoxicosis remission, thyrotoxicosis relapse, definite therapy, radioactive iodine, thyroidectomy, anti-thyroid drugs, propylthiouracil, methimazole, and carbimazole”. We also did a thorough search in review articles, observational studies, open-label/controlled randomized/non-randomized trials, and meta-analyses, as well as the articles cited by textbooks, chapters, and review articles, which led us to locate older sources of information on the topic. Results: More than 90% of thyrotoxicosis in the pediatric age group is attributable to GD. A host of strategies, including ATDs, radioiodine therapy, and surgery, are employed to treat this entity. However, there is still significant controversy regarding the most optimal strategy. Current evidence suggests that ATDs are the best initial treatment in pediatric patients with GD. Although ATDs are widely used, the duration of their administration is controversial and varies significantly between protocols. A major problem is the high relapse rate (up to 70%), but extending the duration of such treatment could potentially bring the remission rate up to 88%. Indications for using radioactive iodine treatment include the lack of remission following years of receiving ATDs, poor compliance, and the emergence of a major side effect. In pediatric patients aged five-years-old or younger who suffer from very large goiter, severe ophthalmopathy, and persistent hyperthyroidism, as well as those with the lack of response to or showing adverse effects of ATDs, it is advisable to consider total or near-total thyroidectomy. Conclusions: Antithyroid drugs are the mainstay of treatment of juvenile GD, and long-term methimazole therapy increases the remission rate in pediatric GD.

Full textAbstract:
Introduction A benign disorder known as juvenile gigantomastia causes disproportionately large breasts for a child's age, either unilaterally or bilaterally, during puberty. There are a number of hypotheses that have been put forth, but the exact cause of gigantomastia is still unknown. The imbalance in endogenous hormone production is included in the widely accepted notion. When gigantomastia develops in adolescence, it causes a miserable condition, Physical and psychological issues result from it. physical issues including shoulder and back pain. Poorly tting clothing, a bad body image, and difculty exercising are secondary social issues. Here, we describe the case of a 12- year-old girl who underwent bilateral breast reduction surgery after being diagnosed with bilateral giagntomastia and congenital gum hypertrophy. Report of the case In this case report, we provide a novel observation in a 12-year-old oid-giri with congenital gum hypertrophy and juvenile gigantomastia (rapid and exaggerated growth in breast size during puberty in a year, with consequent skin ulcerations). She had a BMI of 20.6 kg/m2. No auxiliary lymphadenopathy was present. Prolactin, follicle-stimulating hormone, and serum estradiol levels were all within normal ranges. The results of the medical genetic study did not link to any syndrome. The breast's radiological imaging revealed nothing neoplastic-looking. Debulking of the gums was planned, and a reduction mammoplasty was performed. No recurrence has been documented following a follow-up of 4 months. We conducted a thorough literature search but were unable to locate any cases that were similar. Discussion In the unusual occurrence of gigantomasatia, breast development continues until adolescence. There are a number of theories that have been put up, but the precise underlying aetiology for gigantism has not yet been fully understood. The following techniques were used in the treatment of gignastomastia: (1) Surgical management, (2) preoperative or postoperative medical therapy, (3) postoperative medical therapy alone, and (4) medical therapy. Conclusion Adolescents readily accept reduction mammoplasty for gigantism, which can lead to better physical and psychological consequences. Since congenital gum hypertrophy and gigantism have only sometimes been discussed in the literature, this case will add to our understanding and aid future research into the best way to treat this crippling condition.
